Car-bage 3/3/14

Hey everyone. Welcome back to Car-bage! Today is the third, so enjoy some trikes! Yes, that's how logic around here works.

Really? You chose a mid-90s Nissan Altima for your "badass" trike?

This is a sign of desperation. The front clip of an 80s GM fwd with a hunk of plywood hanging off the end all welded to the frame of what I assume used to be a Honda Goldwing.

While this is hideous, I kind of hate that they tore up a Corvair Monza for it. It even looked like it was pretty clean.

Why? Just so many kinds of why.

Nothing says hardcore as much as the ass-end of a Plymouth Sundance Duster.

Wasn't intended to be a trike, but it is now. Good thing he installed the pillar mounted fire extinguisher and tow bar. He's gonna need that.

Car-bage 2/24/14

Hey everyone. Welcome back to Car-bage! I see some really bad "custom" work done to some of the student's cars on campus. This spurred me to find some other Auto-Zone chrome isle specials for you. Brace yourselves!

There's more of the kneecapper wheels I posted before. I don't even know how to accurately describe that color besides vomit inducing.

A 6/71 blower on top of a transversely mounted 2.4L 4 banger isn't fooling anyone. However, the flame job and fender skirts are the real deal! 

I don't know what it is about the PT Cruiser that makes people want to cover the whole damn, poor little thing in plasti-chrome. There are tons of these monstrosities running around.

1.9L and 124HP of blind fury needs all the extra weight of the plastic badges and the 3 spoilers to keep it on the road apparently. Come on dude! It's a Saturn! It isn't even a real car!

The wheels... Holy hell, the wheels...

Ow... OW... OW DAMMIT IT HURTS!

Car-bage 1/17/14

Hey guys! Welcome to the, apparently, late night edition of Car-bage because I got busy with school. Enjoy these pics of cars which didn't start life as 4x4s but are now.

The name for this thing alone is bad enough. The Jimmy Probe.

When I think "I have a way to make the Pontiac better." this isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Or the second. Or the third...

I kinda feel bad that I dig the 4x4 Mad Max Olds. Wait, I don't feel bad at all, this thing looks cool.

I refuse to make the "Where we're going..." joke.

Who thought a Plymouth Sundance was worth doing this to and why haven't they been punched in the face yet?

To add a bit of class to this train wreck, here's about a 1963 Bentley S3 up on two wheels.

As always, don't forget to comment and follow us. Connor needs the company.

Car-bage 2/10/14

Hey guys! Welcome back to Car-bage. Today I've been thinking a lot about warmer weather because it is freezing. And of course when there's warmer weather there's camping. So here are some not so conventional camper cars.

I like Airstream campers, but mating one with an Olds Toronado is a bit "creative".

I could actually see myself paying a good $300 for this old Mopar camper.

An old F1 car sure makes a hell of a tow vehicle.

I really want to hate this, but its to damn cute!

I'm not quite sure that the owner was really going for the whole "someone dropped a giant gingerbread house on my car and I just sort of rolled with it" look. But to each his own

This is when you know you're a hardcore RV guy.

As always please comment and follow us. Trust me, you don't want to see Connor bored with no one to talk to.

Car-bage 2/8/14

Hey guys, welcome back to your favorite spot to see the best and worst of what the automotive world and the strange minds of car owners have to offer. Enjoy this spot of Car-bage for the weekend.

That must have been one hell of a burnout.

College students were here.

This car is the automotive child of Tiger Woods and Johnny Depp.

Most people bolt the hose roller to the house, not the car.

I know from experience that casters don't work well under these conditions. No, don't ask.

This is my friend Matt's truck. We call it the Danger Ranger. There will be a full write up of this death trap someday.

As always comment and follow us. Connor needs someone to talk to.

Hello all and welcome to your Monday Car-bage! It's the day after one of the worst Superbowls in history and the first day back at work. You need some cheering up and I'm here to help. So relax, put your feet up, and enjoy!

I dig this '70 Chevelle with the handicap ramp. Kudos to whoever built this.

I have no idea how this happened. the window and the guts of the door are pristine.

I don't care what this thing does or what it was made for, I'm staying the hell out of its way.

When is UPS going to deliver parts to me in this?

Pacer rally car? Why yes, I would like to purchase one.

This one's for you Connor.

Don't forget to comment and follow us! The more we hear from you the better this blog will become. Connor needs the love.

More Car-bage!

Welcome back to another Car-bage where we find all sorts of automotive stupidity and show you our favorites. Monday I showed you six pictures and now I'll show you six more. Fell free to post a comment and I would like to know what your favorite picture is. So, instead of me rambling for eight more sentences, let's get on with it!

Now everyone can see the dolt who chose to drive one of these things.

I'm a huge Mopar fan. If I had to drive something in the apocalypse, this would be it.

When did these become a thing? And who's been covering up the stories of the drivers of cars with these wheels kneecapping pedestrians?

A flathead powered bike? The level of unnecessary is so high I really want this.

Finally, a Pinto owner gets it right.

Spy shots of the next redesign of the KIA Soul.

Don't forget to comment and follow us! We really appreciate hearing from people and we would like your feedback. Also Connor gets lonely at night.

First of the Car-bage Carnage!

Welcome to the first installment of Car-bage. So far you've heard a lot from Connor and now you get to see the other side of this coin. I'm Griffin and I'm usually going to be working in tandem with Connor on posts and updates and whatnot, but he's busy with class today so I'm flying this one solo. some of these shots will be of my personal photos and some will be internet content. Hope you all enjoy!

Nothing says performance quite like a mid 80s Yugoslavian hatchback with a hood mounted tach.

Alright all you fans of slammed cars. You want negative camber? I'll give you negative camber!

Time to test out some French sway bars. Everybody lean! The tire only rubs a little.

I don't think anyone will notice it isn't a real Rolls. But seriously though, this thing is damn ugly!

It was like this when I got there. I don't know what happened to the tire. It's gone. It's just gone.

Initial D 1907. Drifting like a sir.

Carbage? Really?

Yes. Really. The name is two words slammed together. Deal. And Yes. It reflects what will be posted here. From wrecks to humor to just plain bad ideas, this blog will maintain high spirits and lift your mood (while consequently causing you to lose faith in the human race) every Monday and Saturday. Enjoy.
